Distractions Aplenty

Richard Koza's Aug. 26 letter, "Scandals a Sign of Bigger Issues," is well-written and makes you wonder just what are the bigger issues.

Is this nation's government purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos, thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within?

That's just what's happening with this president's anti-business, anti-American czars helping him. Now it's Syria, and we, the people, do nothing?

You be the judge and connect the dots when the president of the United States on national TV said that most of America's problems are phony distractions and Congress is the problem hampering his vision of America. The real American distractions are Obamacare and what the other two-thirds of government does behind closed doors.

This is the most scandal-ridden administration in America I've seen in my lifetime. Just what is America's future?

Will it be like Detroit's political death spiral by democracy starting the domino demise into socialism?

Or will Americans stand up and rebut this changing America, coming together to rebuild our founding fathers' 237-year-old republic back to the greatness it once was — a free capitalist history making the American dream for all and where Congress speaks for "we, the people"?

As we Americans have a choice, it reminds me of an old saying during World War II: "United we stand, divided we fall." So what will it be?
